Tonight, CBS wraps up the first season of their new Hunted TV show. Viewers seem to have some very strong opinions about this series. Some would like to see it cancelled while others are ready for a second season.
The Hunted TV show on CBS follows nine teams of two in a real-life manhunt as they attempt to evade capture in today’s digital world. Highly skilled investigators in the field and in a Command Center combine state-of-the-art tracking methods with traditional tactics to pursue and catch them. A grand prize of $250,000 is awarded to each team of two that successfully evades being caught for up to 28 days.
The series debuted on a Sunday evening in January, following a highly-rated NFL game. To no surprise, the first episode of Hunted scored big ratings, averaging a 4.06 in the 18-49 demographic with 11.85 million.
A few days later, in its usual Wednesday night timeslot, the ratings were not nearly as good. Episode two averaged a 1.33 in the demo with 5.48 million viewers. The numbers have dropped lower and lower as the weeks have progressed.
Though this series certainly isn’t a hit, the ratings could be worse. I suspect Hunted doesn’t cost much to produce so I’m inclined to think that CBS will renew it for a second season. However, I certainly wouldn’t be shocked if the network cancelled it instead.
But, what do you think? Would you watch a second season of the Hunted TV show or, is one season enough?
Certainly isn’t “Cheap to produce”. One of the most expensive reality shows to produce, to be honest. Fun to make, but logistically is INTENSE.
Every aspect of the show is fake. Your largest expense is paying the actors.
I absolutely love this show!! I was cheering the hunted teams on!! Those hunters are good, but I sure wanted the teams to escape them!! PLEASE do a Season 2!!
Very interesting and entertaining!
My husband and I really enjoyed this show!!
I tell lots of friends about how great it is!!
Our whole family loved it. Hope there’s another season.
My fiance and I watched this show from the first to last episode and we looked forward to Wednesdays. Dont cancel this was a unique reality show. Thanks CBS
Great show. Want to actually be on season 2!
I thought the show was great and I really got hooked after watching it once.
My husband and I love Hunted.. My heart rate goes up as the teams get surrounded.. I hope there is a second season ..sometimes I can’t believe how dumb they are but the really smart ones are superb to watch…and I get educated about how “big brother” can watch us..a bit scary…
